Evening all, I’m going to get a set of 4100’s however I’m not sure what rating spring to get or even what options offer yet. The car is used for sprints & trackdays and I also use the car to get to track etc. Any advice would be great. Tom

Assuming weather is good I'll be popping along with @hazzamondo in my Abarth.

Decisions decisions! I’m off an OEM Valeo unit for sure, although I blame my current failure on a non Valeo release bearing due to the OEM part being broken. @bloke would you steer me away from a unit with an uprated cover?

Maybe stupid question but where do I get the cover from?

Thanks all for the input. Have you another link as the one provided doesn't seem to work? I'm not sure TBH! Once its apart hopefully it will become apparent what the issue is. However I would put my money on the release bearing. I assume you mean the one I mentioned above. I just don't...

Good Morning All, I'm about to get my gearbox rebuilt by @NorthloopCup however I'm unsure what clutch to run. I'll be running a gripper differ with a 4.53 FD and a lightened flywheel in a standard 182 Cup box. My current Valeo has died after around 1,000 miles (although hard use) but I...

I run EPAS and have just cable tied it out the way. No warning lights etc.

It. Is. Amazing.

Oh s**t! Was your mate OK?

No such luck now with the clutch gone! Although I'm still aiming to get the car up and running for 8th December 2018 for Rockingham.

How did you find Rockingham? Clio suited for it?

I think so. I forget his name. Yeah he was second quickest overall which is mad! So so quick, I'll upload some more pics of his.

Yeah its crazy that the clutch has gone, I'll be interested to see the clutch once its out as I assume its another Valeo issue. At least its the last sprint of the year, although I am booked onto Rockingham in December but if Clio isn't working I still have the Abarth! No turbo! Once/If diff is...

Love it. Can't wait to see it finished.

Debden Sprint - Sunday 7th October 2018 I completed in a sprint even at Debden at the weekend which was amazing. Great course and well organised. Due to me arriving slightly late I didn't get a change to walk the course so the first two practice runs were done at a very slow pace. I then set...

Do you have any issues with rubbing and 205 tyres? I had 205's on my Pro Race 1.2's and they rubbed like crazy. Again, did you have any issues with rubbing? Its been perfect to be honest. No issues with it what so ever. I did use the genuine 172 cup brackets which i think help it work with...

Cheers mate.

I was thinking the same. Almost worth a buying a set as they are so cheap. Worse case I’ll just use them for track days. Are you running 205’s or 195’s?

For what I paid yes I've been very pleased. I had an issue with my order and was delivered the wrong model twice then needed to collect from Rob in Southampton so got a good deal however I have the "road" compound (S2 IIRC) which are too hard for sprints but much better than anticipated. I...

Yeah I'm really pleased with it overall, looks so much better in white IMO. Plus I wanted to do it as cheap as possible. The Abarth is amazing. Its just a fun car and makes you smile when driving. I've not gone above 4k rpm or put it under much load however it goes well, I would go as far to...

So I had a bit of spare time on Saturday morning so I decided to remove the front section of cage and paint it. Overall I'm really pleased with the results. It took me around 4 hours, including a bit of waiting around etc and only £25ish in cost of paint. If I were to do it again I would have...

Do love this build. Glad you're pleased with the diff.

Good luck on track.

If you could take a pic that would be great. The last time I took my wheel off I thought it was all a little too open for my liking.

This I need to do. Any pics please guys?

I may give it a go over the winter. This is part of my reason why I want to paint, mine get black so quickly. Just don’t want it to look odd.

Like @JamesBryan I only run half front arch liners.

Has anyone done this? I think it could look great, however I can't find a pic/thread anywhere. Cheers Tom

Yeah I did that! Was a great road. However out of all roads I’ve done route napoleon is my favourite.

Looks f-ing amazing! Can't wait to see it. I'm massively jealous!
